Everyone likes a good teaser—this one will provide over a decade’s worth of enriching programming and exhibitions leading to the anticipated opening of the Smithsonian’s National Museum of the American Latino.
Legislation passed in 2020 officially established the museum, but plans for its building are still forthcoming. Through the support of individuals, foundations, and corporations, including a $10 million lead gift from the family of C. David and Mary Molina, the Molina Family Latino Gallery at The Smithsonian’s National Museum of American History in Washington, DC, had its official unveiling last June, providing the museum a temporary home while serving as the first iteration of the National Museum of the American Latino.
